To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I complain too much

Or maybe I just

Seek for the rightness of things

Not satisfied

With what the general lot

Accept and go

Happily or sadly

Drifting by

I contest and complain

I keep asking

Why

Because you listen

Not everyone does

Don't I know

Which makes you, you

And there is none

Not a single soul

Quite like you

But I fear

How precious you are

So rarely comes to my lips

That you will never know

Because I only speak

In quarrelling tones

Telling of what

You could do more

And so I fear if

All this noise

Drowns out the sound

Of the real thing

It can't though?

Because real things

Are felt, not heard

And I do hope

You will feel

In spite of all the din

Of my general laments
